Description

Regatta is a game of yacht racing. Each player controls a single yacht in the race and must use proper sailing techniques in order to win.

The yachts behave properly with regards to the wind. They have to tack to go into the wind and make their best speed while broad reaching (sailing somewhere between the direction of the wind and at right angles to the wind). Speed can be increased by raising spinnakers but manuverability is decreased. When one yacht blocks the wind from another, the second yacht loses speed.

The players maneuver their yachts around the course (which is marked out by the islands and bouys) by keeping an eye on the wind and their opponents. The first player to complete the course is the winner.
